CommonDevelopment Tool

One of the big ideas recently proposed by IBM, and further proof of our commitment to IDS, has been the idea of a common setof clients tools (like a Java Common Client (JCC), for example). If you aregoing to have a common set of clients, or programming interfaces, itmight not be a bad idea to have a common development tool that willallow you to use these common clients, for both DB2 and IDS. Well IBMhas released in beta an Eclipse based common tool that allows that. Forthose who want to jump right in here is the link:

As with many things IBM , since this is an open beta the actual name atthe time of release may change. I will be blogging on thisproduct over the next few weeks covering its capabilities from the IDSside of the tool. So far there will be 5 parts to this report, notcounting this introduction.
